1: Number of times per 100 rolls of newsprint that the new press is forecast to break the paper, requiring stoppage and rewebbing. Given approximate paper use of 12 1-ton rolls per day, web breaks will happen every eight days.

1.2: Weight, in millions of pounds, of the press. Coincidentally, the concrete bed supporting the press weighs about the same.

2: Approximate time, in weeks, to use all of the black ink in the press' new 3,800-gallon tank.

3: Distance, in inches, between the top of the press and an existing sprinkler pipe on the ceiling that could not be moved.

4.7: Depth, in feet, of the thickest part of the concrete pad beneath the press.

20: Estimated life expectancy, in years, of the new press.

26: Miles per hour that the press will run at full speed, or 11 mph faster than the old press.

30: Approximate number of computers, servers and industrial processors in the new press. The press it replaces had zero.

33: Number of tractor-trailers required to haul the press from a New Jersey port to Colonie.

45: Relative humidity, in percent, required to be maintained in the room where press plates are laser-etched.

60: Estimated number of days to disassemble and remove the old press, which is being scrapped.

476: Number of days from the finalization of the press contract to the first full edition of the Times Union printed on the press being delivered to subscribers.

1,100: Number of training hours for staff on the new press and related processes.

1,300: Approximate number of grippers that carry finished papers, one or two at a time, on an overheard track from the press to the palletizer stacking stations.

120,000: Estimated number of pages printed per roll of paper.

177,000: Volume, in BTUs per hour, that the press motors' water-cooling system must handle — the equivalent of a central-air-conditioning unit for an 11,000-square-foot house.
